Learn Tennis with Giovanna

•
•

I started playing tennis when I was 7 years old in my hometown in Brazil. Over the years, as a junior player, I traveled worldwide to compete and receive high-intensity training. By 16, I was ranked in the top 30 in Brazil. For the past three years, I have been playing college tennis. I initially played at a Division I school on the East Coast but now compete for Concordia University (Division II), which has a strong tennis program and a competitive conference. As a coach, I have taught at several academies and clubs in New York and California for three years. I have experience working with players of all levels and ages. I offer private lessons, semi-private sessions, hitting lessons, and group lessons, and I am dedicated to helping each student improve their game and achieve their tennis goals.

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonThe first lesson is always important to set you up for success. We will go over the correct grips and techniques for achieving a consistent groundstroke.
Lesson 11+Focus into patterns such as Forehand down the line and Backhand cross court. Faster paced drills. Ability to hit 10+ shots within the rally. Play point at the end of the lesson.
Lesson 4-10Introduction to serves and volleys. I really like to have students rallying (hitting back and forth) by the 5th lesson.
Lesson 2-3After your first lesson, the goal will be to get the student more comfortable and confident with their groundstrokes through drills. If the student has demonstrated a certain control we will progress into rallies.
Advanced training plan
